Kenya's Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo warned people who committed crimes during last Wednesday's protests. He promised the government will punish those who caused destruction and chaos. Omollo spoke at a church gathering in Mathare North on Sunday. He told the crowd that criminals took advantage of peaceful demonstrations to break the law. The official said authorities will track down every person who damaged property or hurt others.
Omollo praised young protesters for having good reasons to demonstrate. He said criminal groups joined the marches to steal and destroy buildings. The government official stressed that Kenya needs discipline from all citizens to move forward as a country. He called on parents and religious leaders to help guide young people toward better choices. Political leaders must also take responsibility for creating unity rather than division.
The principal secretary criticized politicians who encourage violence during protests. He said these leaders stay safe at home and never let their children join dangerous street demonstrations. Omollo warned young people not to trust politicians who use them for personal political goals. He said bad leaders abandon supporters when trouble starts. The government will not allow criminal acts disguised as political protests.
Omollo encouraged Kenyans to express political views peacefully. He said people can share their opinions without disrupting national security. The official asked citizens to give current leaders time to improve the country. He reminded everyone that voters will choose new representatives during election time.
